An Iran Air Boeing 747 can carry a nuclear warhead.

Do you for an instant think that even the Iranians are stupid enough to launch 12 cruise missiles at the United State and not expect the retaliation to be total and complete? We have the region on 24/7 AWACS surveillance and could spot such a launch and know exactly where it came from.

Furthermore, the Iranians have yet to build their first weapon, and even if they have, it won't be small enough to be carried aboard this type of cruise missile. A more credible threat would be one of the Iraqi MiGs or Mirages that Saddam parked there in 1991 and never got back.

Debka has the knack of sensational yet meaningless headlines that get people all worked up.

Probably the same people that scream "terrorists" with every green-laser-in-the-cockpit incident.
